Sorry guys. Just want to know how much fuel the Emil has left when that little read light comes on. Perhaps more to the point, how many more minutes can the Emil stay in the air? I'm sure this question has been answered before, somewhere. But is it accurately modeled in SoW?
thanks,

I'm sure the fuel load and consumption will be accurately modelled in BoB. But how many LW pilots are going to fly all the way from France, weaving above their bombers so that they have only fuel for 10 minutes above London? Not many is my guess (probably the name number of RAF pilots that will want to spend the first 10 minutes of every mission trying to get up to the height of the bombers). And about just as many will head on back once they reach bingo fuel! (Hopefully, the German sea rescue will be modelled or the LW pilots are good swimmers!)
Also in quick missions and Dogfight servers it’s all very academic anyway as the service conditions aren't reproduced.
